How To Restore Rubber Parts-Vintage Motorcycle Restoration Project: Part 61

[@jonm4899]

I see you use "Wizards" products. Great stuff! I use it on all my vehicles, motorcycle and even the lawn mower.

Good video. I have had some success using chrome colored spray paint. May work on the rusted up cover.

[@KeepOnWrenching]

I’ll definitely be using some “touch up” chrome on some parts for sure. Comes in handy! Finding a replacement points cover is proving to be a little harder than I thought. The one I have is pretty bad. We will see how it all sorts out.

[@KeepOnWrenching]

Gave the chrome spray a try. Not too bad of results. Thanks for the suggestion!

Is it just me or does this guy sound just like Jack Black???

[@KeepOnWrenching]

[@kevykev555]

There's a guitar in the background

I imagine some A-list awesomeness of awesome performers, such as EG Jack Black, would have anonymous channels so they can interact with other genuine hobbyists without "Fans" clogging up the discussion. Anonymity - they need it

[@KeepOnWrenching]

Lol. You never know!

By any chance can armor all also help restore rubber on shoes? I have some old shoes that the rubber had harden but still can be saved.

[@gr8reels]

Awesome stuff bro!!

[@bucktownpsd1590]

I like the Armor All trick. I remember seeing on one of the Honda V4 forums about a concoction that someone came up with the rejuvenate the rubber on these old bikes, especially for the hardened carb boots. It really softens the rubber back up to like new. Did the Armor All soften it up as well?

[@KeepOnWrenching]

Absolutely. Soaking really helps. Not so much of you just rub it on.

[@James_Sovereign]

Use wintergreen oil to restore and soften hardened carb boots.

[@sydneygage5170]

Man, you should wear some protective gloves!

[@KeepOnWrenching]

I really should. You’re right.

[@ImaginArt24]

Will this work for lego rubber like restrenghten it

[@KeepOnWrenching]

Worth a shot. Wintergreen oil is also another option. People tell me about that all the time.

[@thebear6529]

yes look good as soon as u do them, but they won't stay like that tho.

[@KeepOnWrenching]

You gotta maintain them for sure. I’m pretty meticulous about cleaning and keeping things protected. I guess it kind of a “do no harm” approach until I can afford to replace stuff. Plus, it is what it is. I love preserving these old bikes for better or worse and with what I can do at the time.
